A few weeks ago, we translated a 4Gamer interviewconducted with producer Kenichiro Tsukuda. The site actually ended up bringing back Tsukuda for a second interview, who was also joined by mech designer Shoji Kawamori. Topics include the game’s origins, designing the mechs, and more on the visual style including making the graphics stand out.

We’ve prepared a full translation of 4Gamer’s Daemon X Machina interview. Continue on below for the discussion.

Nintendo UK published its own interview with Daemon X Machina producer Kenichiro Tsukuda today. Tsukuda spoke more about the game, including the story and visuals. He also teased reveals that are planned for Gamescom 2018 later this month.

Daemon X Machina will be added to the Switch arsenal in 2019. Recently, Japanese website 4Gamer pulled out the big guns to interview the producer Kenichiro Tsukuda (which we translated here). With new details on Femto, the Arsenal, and Outers popping up, I decided it’s time for me to look at the inners and shared what I discovered. Please enjoy!

Daemon X Machina, a new Switch game unveiled during last week’s Nintendo Direct, might be one of the most visually striking titles we’ve seen on the system as of late. According to producer Kenichiro Tsukuda, the style was chosen to help make the title stand out.

Tsukuda told Polygon:

“Games these days have a lot of the same color palette, and I just personally wasn’t very happy with it. The colors that you see are chosen specifically for each of the orders and missions that you go on, based on how we want you to feel when you’re playing.”

Daemon X Machina isn’t just unique for its visuals. Tsukuda said that the metal soundtrack extends into the sound effects.

“Shooting a gun sounds like a drum and there’s a laser blade that actually uses the sound of a guitar. So when you’re playing with a group of Arsenals, I was hoping to create a game that kind of felt like you were like having a jam session.”

Nintendo has passed along updated fact sheets for a trio of games featured at E3 this week: Daemon X Machina, Xenoblade 2: The Golden Country, and Super Mario Party. All three received updated information following the Nintendo Direct that took place a few days ago. For the latest details, check out the fact sheets below.
